Our Chief Executive's Vision

“It's quite clear that the good progress being made by us and others in our sector in reducing our environmental impacts is not sufficient to bring about the change we need if we are to avoid the worst effects of climate change. What we really need to do is reduce our negative impacts to zero and then beyond zero – to make sure that we make a net positive contribution to the environment and to society too. Understanding this has encouraged us to make a bold Net Positive commitment for the business. ”
